Grapevine High School

This week, the Grapevine-Colleyville Education Foundation surprised 18 GCISD educators with spring STAR Teaching Grants totaling nearly $35,000! These grants fund projects that benefit students by enhancing existing programs or funding innovative class projects.

Tune in tomorrow to Fox 4’s Good Day show at approximately 10:30 a.m. to see the anchors try out the pizzas that were concepts by GCISD’s Career and Technical Education students in Advanced Culinary. A reminder that the last day the pizzas will be on the Wise Guys Pizzeria menu is Friday, May 15. The winning pizza, based on sales and customer feedback, will remain for a limited time.

Shout out to GCISD Career and Technical Education students in the floral design program, Southern Floral and Kroger! The supermarket chain and the floral products distributor donated an estimated $1,400 worth of flowers to the class, and when teacher Jessica Neely asked students what they wanted to do, they said they wanted to create bouquets to brighten up the day of senior citizens at the Bear Creek Assisted Living and Rehabilitation Center in Grapevine. The special delivery happened on Tuesday.

This morning, Grapevine High School unveiled a commemorative mural to mark the school’s 120th anniversary, alongside America’s 250th anniversary! The special artwork was designed by GHS art teacher and alum Kristi Rucker, two GHS National Art Honor Society students, and a local artist.
